Card name “Alpha Wildclaw” appears in rule 758.2.a.
758.2.a. This will also occur if the Game Object is no longer among the set of objects that are made untargetable by a Game Effect. Example: Alpha Wildclaw and Vilemaw are controlled by the same player and located at a battlefield. An opponent targets Vilemaw with Rebuke. Before Rebuke resolves, Vilemaw's controller plays Discipline targeting Alpha Wildclaw, making Vilemaw no longer a legal target. Rebuke's controller then targets Alpha Wildclaw with Star-Crossed. When Star-Crossed resolves, Alpha Wildclaw's passive ability no longer applies to Vilemaw, making it a legal target for Rebuke. After all spells and abilities have resolved, both Vilemaw and Alpha Wildclaw will be returned to hand.
